A giant panda at a South Korean zoo has given birth to the country’s first twin cubs.
The palm-sized female pandas were born at the Everland Resort theme park southeast of the capital Seoul on July 7, the zoo said in a statement Tuesday. Video posted to YouTube showed their mother Ai Bao picking up the first cub, weighing 180 grams , with her mouth, then delivering the second cub, weighing 140 grams, an hour later.
” The mammals, known for their penchant for bamboo, are native to China and deemed a “national treasure.” For decades, Beijing has been sent them abroad as ambassadors to show goodwill in what is known as “panda diplomacy.” The twins’ parents, Ai Bao and father Le Bao, were loaned to South Korea in 2016 and went on to deliver Fu Bao, the first locally born panda in 2020. The new twins are yet to be named.
